Our government has supported the overthrow of secular governments in Libya and Egypt in order to install Islamic governments.

It is trying to do the same in Syria. Why is this our government’s policy?

Islamic governments do not allow freedom of religion.

Their law is Islamic law, not constitutional law. Their goal is the destruction of Israel and Christianity.

Our government’s support of Islam became public under President George W. Bush in the sending of State Department officials to speak at Ramadan dinners. The support of Islam has escalated dramatically under President Obama.

Who is running our government?

Our government officials who are supporting the god of Islam need to understand that they will stand in judgment before the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Please take time to remind our elected officials in Washington of Psalm 2.

Paroled convicted murderer

I read a recent article in the Saturday edition and was horrified that a man convicted of first-degree murder was on parole and released back into our community. I personally don’t feel safe knowing that I could possibly be living or shopping right next to a murderer.

I don’t understand how someone can kill someone and be allowed to be put back into our society.

So, now a person can murderer someone’s loved one who didn’t get to live the rest of their life and a murderer gets set free.

The court system is so messed up. And we wonder why we don’t feel safe letting our kids play outside.

Sales tax election

The way the ordinance is written, the aquatic center, the fire station and some other items referred to in net amounts, which in my opinion, as well as the city financial director, will have be collected before any other items in ordinance can be funded.

In past ordinances, all items referred as percentage of 1 cent sales until a fixed amount was reached and balance would revert back to streets and drainage.

This being the case, no funding would be available for the other items for at least 2 and a half to 3 years.

I do not believe it would be wise for the voters to support this ordinance and I therefore recommend a no vote.

I also would recommend that if this ordinance does not pass that the City Council bring back a new ordinance that leave out the fixed amount items.

If the City Council feels that the aquatic center, fire station, and other fixed amount items are necessary, use the city bonding power to fund these projects which would give prompt funding for all items.
